The Digitized Sky Surveys were produced at the Space Telescope Science
Institute under U.S. Government grant NAG W-2166. The images of these surveys
are based on photographic data obtained using the Oschin Schmidt Telescope on
Palomar Mountain and the UK Schmidt Telescope. The plates were processed into
the present compressed digital form with the permission of these institutions.
The UK Schmidt Telescope was operated by the Royal Observatory Edinburgh,
with funding from the UK Science and Engineering Research Council (later the
UK Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council), until 1988 June, and
thereafter by the Anglo-Australian Observatory. The blue plates of the
southern Sky Atlas and its Equatorial Extension (together known as the
SERC-J), as well as the Equatorial Red (ER), and the Second Epoch [red]
Survey (SES) were all taken with the UK Schmidt.
